Manipal, a littoral suburb in the state of Karnataka, located on the rocky Malabar Coast, was a barren city which has recently metamorphosed into an educational hub. Home to Manipal University, the city attracts thousands of students from all over India every year. The city derives its name from a lake situated at its heart, which is a famous picnic spot complete with boating facilities.
